SUBTERRANEAN TERMITES
Eastern Subterranean Termites
Eastern Subterranean termites live in the soil and build large nests. They connect to food sources by building mud tubes, which protect them from the air. They feed on wood and other cellulose material. Eastern Subterranean termites are extremely destructive, with colonies numbering up to two million members.
Formosan Termites
Formosan termites also live in the soil although they do not require direct contact with the soil. They can also live in “carton” nests that they make from chewed wood, saliva, and fecal matter. This carton helps retain moisture in the nest. Formosan termite colonies are much larger than Eastern Subterranean colonies and can cause damage at a much faster rate.
DRYWOOD TERMITES
Drywood termites live inside of wood instead of the ground. Their colonies are smaller than the Eastern Subterranean termite colonies and are typically confined to a small area. One of the most tell-tale signs of a Drywood termite infestation is the presence of “frass”, which is their fecal matter. It is in the form of a hexagonal shaped pellet about 1 millimeter long. They push the pellets through small kick-out holes.
Detection and isolation of the Drywood Galleries are very important aspects of dealing with Drywood Termites. Once the active Drywood Termites are isolated, and injection treatment, or wood treatment is used to eliminate all active Termites.
